Recently, our team has been working on some important behind-the-scenes updates to lay the foundation for the future of chat in the Church Center app.
While most of the improvements won’t be immediately visible, we hope you will start to notice a more polished experience as we prepare for the next iteration of chat features.
What’s new
- Conversation filters have been redesigned for easier access.
- When viewing read receipts for your messages, you can now see the names and photos of everyone who has read a message rather than an abbreviated list.
- To keep things tidy, the read receipt indicators and timestamps are hidden for past messages. To view these details for a message, tap on it to expand.
- Message reactions now appear in a bottom sheet after long-pressing on a message.
- When uploading multiple image files, they will display as individual thumbnails rather than as a group.
- To improve performance, the “Mark all read” button will no longer show the total number of unread messages. However, each conversation will still show a bubble with the number of unread messages.
We’ll be slowly rolling out this update over the next month so that we can monitor performance and make improvements as necessary. Stay tuned for more chat updates in the coming months!
